The scariest thing about AI yet.

54. Thank you

At Trader Joes the employees also order all the products on a daily basis. A few years ago the company installed a program that automatically ordered for all stores based on sales. It failed miserably.
It either under ordered or ordered too much.
It didn't take long for them to go back to the employees doing the ordering. They found that we did a better job of knowing our customer's buying trends and stocking our shelves. There is more than just tracking sales in the process of ordering. You need the knowledge of your community and events to accurately predict what to order. Holidays, ( some holidays are more important than others based on your customers) school districts all have different schedules. So there is a lot more than sales when ordering product.
